How Many Eggs Can You Eat

How to Cook Them

Eggs have multiple possibilities in the kitchen:

Fried: Preferably in olive oil, with a little bit of garlic and sea salt

Cooked: It is best to cook it for at least a minute and then leave it in the water until it’s warm or cook it again but turn it off before it boils again to prevent the sulfuric substances that give it more smell and a grey appearance to the yolk

Passed under water: Cook the egg briefly and immediately put it under cold water to stop it from cooking and so the egg is semi-cooked, which is great to soak bread in

Scrambled: You can also cook it in the pan, as if you were frying it, but stirring it instead with a wooden spoon. It is delicious when combined with garlic, shrimp, mushrooms, or cheese.

Spanish omelette: Spanish omelette is made by beating an egg and frying it in a pan. You can make it with potatoes, vegetables, mushrooms, pees, etc.

You should also not forget that many recipes include eggs like mayonnaise, batters, sponge cake, meringues, etc.
